Pavel’s comment on Simplicity is hard. Let’s go shopping! [dive into mark]
Huh! This is interesting. My immediate gut response was that art inspires, especially brilliant art, or art that particularly speaks to you. But of course a television can inspire, too, and you can easily show works of art on it besides.

Webdesigner Depot has created a fun walk down memory lane with 20 Years of Adobe Photoshop. Pictured above is where I started, Photoshop 4 (LE to be exact).
This is where I started, too. Wow, the tools I use most really haven’t changed much.
A detail from Wallace Sterling’s 1960s Grande Baroque Flatware Set. Will run you a few grand on Ebay.

This is really creepy. Really, really creepy. Like those “perfect girlfriend” dolls from Urban Outfitters creepy. Like “objectify much, marina boy?” creepy.
What if we studied dinner party usepaths — “ways of doing things which are typical and which tend to work according to the people who most commonly perform the activity in question,” in Tim Boucher’s helpful definition — and redesigned our dining rooms, table cloths, and place settings accordingly?
Subtle tweaks could encourage cross-table conversation, or make it hard for the guest who always drinks too much to get hold of their wine glass. Playful hosts could insert thought-provoking obstacles into the decor, guaranteed to interrupt force of habit and prompt discussion. And teaching kids table manners might no longer be such a struggle, since the dining environment itself would reinforce them.I think Emily Post and Miss Manners would be very surprised to see this touted as a new concept.
